U.S. sanctions against Russian cybersecurity companies. I never thought that I will write here about state sanctions. Usually I try to ignore political topics. But now it’s necessary. Yesterday OFAC introduced sanctions against 5 Russian companies.
I would like to mention 3 of them:
- Digital Security – one of the leading Russian Information Security consulting companies. They make vulnerability researches, penetration testing, security audits (including PCI-DSS). They also organize ZeroNights – one of the main international Information Security conferences in Russia. I participated and wrote about these events: “ZeroNights16: Enterprise Vulnerability Management” and “ZeroNights 2017: back to the cyber 80s“.
- ERPScan – Vulnerability Management vendor specialized on SAP ERP. I wrote about their product in “ERPScan SAP security scanner“.
- Embedi – researchers and vendor of prevention solution made specifically for smart-devices. For example, they explored famous Intel AMT vulnerability.
